Additional Comments: If I could get no LEDs that would be nice. I like a dark room. A plain professional case is preffered.
I was going to go with a Sandy Bridge I3 and a AMD 6850 and a 450W-500W power supply. That way I could squeeze in a nicer LGA 1155 motherboard to possibly upgrade to Ivy Bridge I5 and a better graphics card later on. I don't know if that is a good plan.
